Knight Rider

The Topaz Connection - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: Just after Michael wakes up from being knocked out trying to stop the plane, he goes from the front of the Knight semi trailer (where all the computer equipment/office is) they are travelling in to get into KITT. He gets into the driver's side of the car (far side from the camera, indicating that KITT is facing towards the rear door of the trailer. However, in the exterior shot of KITT leaving the trailer, he emerges backwards down the ramp then does a 180 spin to go back the way he was facing when inside.

Trust Doesn't Rust - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, KARR has his own unique yellow voice modulator. However, when he is talking to the two robbers in their lockup and we see KARR mainly from the outside, the light flashing inside KARR as he speaks is red, suggesting that it is KITT (or at least the KITT prop, possibly filmed before the KARR's modulator was made or reused from elsewhere).

Trust Doesn't Rust - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, KARR doesn't appear to have a rear number plate as KITT does. However, in the shots of KARR smashing through windows/walls, he has KITT's ‘KNIGHT' plate.

Goliath Returns (2) - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: When Michael and Dr. Bergstrom get out of Goliath, the back door is still open. We see both get into K.I.T.T. at the same time since Bergstrom needs Michael's help walking on the hood. But once they're both in the car, the back door is closed and locked without Michael having a chance to. And if the door can close automatically or remotely, then it should have closed with Michael inside.

The Topaz Connection - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: When Michael falls off the plane and onto KITT's hood, he is not wearing his leather jacket as he tries to stuff it in the rudder to stop the plane from taking off. Very next scene, he awakens in the FLAG Semi, wearing the jacket that fell into the driver's seat as he fell off the plane. I doubt the doctor would take the time to put Michael's jacket back on.

Carol Wands

Circus Knights - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: When you see Bonnie and Devon in the audience waiting for Michael and K.I.T.T to perform, sitting next to Bonnie is a guy in red shirt. In another shot of the audience the same guy can be seen sitting higher up in the seating area and sat with other people. When you next see Bonnie and Devon, the guy is back sitting next to her.

Custom Made Killer - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: When Michael and KITT have the murdering driver cornered and get him to talk, KITT is asked to pop in a tape to record the confession. When it goes in, it's a white cassette. When Michael comes in to get Krebbs, he holds up a black cassette.

Movie Nut

Brother's Keeper - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: After the photoshoot Michael and Lisa are walking. Lisa's dress is on her shoulder, next shot it's off her shoulder and the shot after that it reappears back on her shoulder.

Hearts of Stone - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When KITT lands in the back of the pick-up truck near the end of the episode, the internal shot shows the girl starting to get out of the passenger's side. But in the next external shot, she is getting out of the driver's side.

Inside Out - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the driver of the lorry is radioing for a situation check, you see the driver with a radio in his hand. When you see them drive by and hear him still asking, the driver of the lorry isn't holding a radio, but has both hands on the steering wheel.

Goliath Returns (2) - S2-E19

Continuity mistake: Right after Michael escapes from his cell, he finds KITT in the garage. Michael has KITT pop his hood to work on him, he asks KITT how he feels, the next shot shows KITT's scanner with the hood down, then it goes back to the shot of Michael and the hood is open again.

No Big Thing - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: KITT tells Michael he is running low on gas. Before they changed to the view of his fuel gauge, it was on the 3rd bottom of the RPM indicator. When they change, it's put on the top just below the RPM indicator, and changes again to the 3rd bottom.

Knight Rider [Pilot; a.k.a. Knight of the Phoenix] (1) - S1-E1

Devon Miles: Welcome aboard the Knight 2000.
Michael Long: Thank you. What's all this? It looks like Darth Vader's bathroom.
Devon: It's a one-of-a-kind car, Mr. Long. It is the fastest, safest, strongest car in the world. It is also completely fuel-efficient and it is operated entirely by microprocessors, which make it it virtually impossible for it to be involved in any mishap or collision. Unless, of course, specifically so ordered by the pilot.
Michael: Pilot? Don't tell me this thing flies.
Devon: No, but it thinks.
Michael: It thinks? My car thinks?
Devon: We like to think of it as our car.

No Big Thing - S1-E8

Question: In this episode, in an aerial view of KITT travelling before meeting the semi, KITT is passing a parked car that seems to be one of the other cars used as the stand-in for the 'hero car'. Would that be any sort of error? (00:23:35)

Movie Nut

Answer: I would say that unless there's visual evidence it was another K.I.T.T. car, as in you could see the bar scanner or cut steering wheel, people on here would correct the mistake by saying more than one 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am was sold and there's no reason it's meant to be a random car.
